How Long
That night, Jude called her sister. "Hey Sadie, how's it going? Are you and Kwest doing okay?" "Yea we're doing fine. What about you?" Sadie asked with real concern in her voice. "Yea, I'm fine. A little tired, that's all. By the way, how is Tommy?" Jude asked. "Jude, he's not good at all. He hardly eats, let alone shaves or changes his clothes. He just mopes around and does pretty much nothing. I have hardly seen him around the studio since you left. He's come in a couple of times, and I actually think he was recording, but other than that he just sulks around your…oops sorry, his house." It's okay Sadie. I'm coming home the day after tomorrow anyways. It's time I faced the music. I mean I haven't seen nor talked to Tommy since I left five and a half months ago." Jude could hear Sadie squealing in excitement on the other end of the phone "I'm so excited!!! I'll see you tomorrow!" "Yea, just don't forget to pick me up!!! I'll be getting in at 8:45pm. Don't forget me like you did that one time when I came home from Grandmas." Jude chuckled. "Don't worry Jude, I won't forget you! Wait, you remember that??" "How could I forget? Bye Sadie." And with that Jude hung up the phone and began to start packing.
She finished packing, and headed for the airport after all, she did have an almost 13 hour flight ahead of her. " I hate planes. Why did I have to pick somewhere so far away, for my getaway?"
On the plane
Jude sits in her seat and buckles herself in. "At least I got the window seat." Jude said. The first thing she does is turn on her iPod. She's listening to "Get In Get Out" – by Cinder Road. Jude sings along "I hear you, Been comin' round, I feel you just by the sound, I want you just like a pill, I feed you, need to just for the thrill……."
Jude falls asleep to the music on her iPod. When she wakes, she hears the pilot say that they are about 3 hours outside of Toronto. She doesn't feel like watching the movie they had going, she'd only seen it about a million times, so she pulled out her journal and began to write down her thoughts. Three pages of brainstorming, and two pages of lyrics later, Jude had finished her song, that she called "How Long." Ten minutes later, she heard the pilot come over the intercom and announce that they were beginning their descent into Toronto. Jude couldn't wait to land. She was starving, and she couldn't wait to see Saide. They had some catching up to do!
